do you believe either side, whether it is speaker boehner or senator mcconnell or the president can back off the more high-pitched rhetoric and take a step back and say we can get something done as far as taxes and not drawing a line in the sand? >> people romanticize how clinton and i operated. we closed the government twice. we had very tough fights. but we understood in the end that if he didn't sign it, it wouldn't become law and if i didn't schedule it, he would never get to sign it. so we figured out after a while how the constitution is supposed to work. now, i think the same situation is here. what is not going to work is for harry reed to say, day after day, as he did, i'm not ever going to cooperate with mitt romney. the second obama wins, reed sends out a note to colleagues, gee, why don't we work together? there is an easy test. mitch mcconnell can sit down with reed and in 10 minutes reach an agreement how the senate will work in a bipartisan way or figure out it is all baloney and he will remain a bitter partisan. reed has to be a part of this deal also. and i look forward
